Terrelle Pryor, Jaguars Agree on Reported 1-Year Contract

The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed free-agent wide receiver Terrelle Pryor to a reported one-year contract.

Jacksonville confirmed the deal Monday after NFL Network's Ian Rapoport first reported the length of the agreement on May 30.  

The 29-year-old veteran appeared in eight games last season with the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills, and finished with 16 receptions for 252 yards and two touchdowns before Buffalo released him in November.

Pryor began his NFL career as a quarterback before transitioning into a full-time role as a wideout with the Cleveland Browns in 2016. Pryor showed his immense potential as a pass-catcher that season by finishing with 77 receptions for 1,007 yards and four touchdowns.

As a result of his productive season, Pryor signed a one-year deal with the Washington Redskins, but his play dropped off considerably.

Pryor made just 20 grabs for 240 yards and one touchdown with the Redskins in 2017, which led to him bouncing around between two teams last season.

In Jacksonville, Pryor will join a fairly deep receiving corps that already includes the likes of Dede Westbrook, Marqise Lee, Keelan Cole, D.J. Chark and Chris Conley.

The Jags' top returning receiver is Westbrook, who finished with fairly modest numbers in 2018, reeling in 66 catches for 717 yards and five scores.

While the Jaguars have several options at receiver, they need someone to step up alongside Westbrook and produce starter-quality numbers.

Pryor could be that guy since he has some experience with Jags offensive coordinator John DeFilippo. DeFilippo was the Browns' offensive coordinator in 2015 when Pryor was starting to make the move to receiver.

Given Pryor's size (6'4" and 228 pounds), he has the potential to become a favorite red-zone target for new Jags quarterback Nick Foles as well.
